A two-year starter at Temple, Reddick lined up at a left and right defensive end (two- and three-point stance) in Temple's scheme, also standing up and dropping as a spy linebacker. A no-star safety recruit out of high school, Reddick battled injuries as a junior and senior at Haddon Heights so his recruitment went from meager to non-existent due to his lack of exposure. His persistence earned him a walk-on opportunity at Temple, redshirting in 2012. Reddick played mostly special teams in 2013, but made the transition to linebacker and eventually defensive end where he earned four starts, posting 4.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack. He served as a reserve as a sophomore in 2014 (two starts) and finished with 7.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. Reddick won a starting defensive end job a junior in 2015, collecting 46 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and two forced fumbles. He had his best season as a senior (13 starts) and finished third in the FBS with 22.5 tackles for loss, adding a team-best 10.5 sacks and three forced fumbles to earn First Team All-AAC honors.

Once a 185-pound walk-on, Reddick developed into a hybrid pass rusher and lived in the opponent's backfield as a senior with a team-best 22.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. However due to size, he needs to transition to an off-ball linebacker role in the NFL, displaying the athleticism to make the change, but he lacks ideal experience operating in coverage. Although his evaluation requires a leap of faith due to his position change, Reddick is a balanced, loose athlete with the instincts and upside to play inside or outside linebacker in various schemes, especially with his pass rush value on passing downs, projecting as a first round player.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS: Finely tuned athlete with coordinated movement skills. Masterfully controls his throttle in space to break down and finish ballcarriers. Flexible to drop his pads and turn the corner around edge blockers. Initial burst to attack gaps and squeeze into the backfield. Best trait is his secondary quickness working off contact. Very good pursuit speed and motor. Backfield vision to track the ball, avoid blockers and track down the ballcarrier. Alert to see plays develop, trusting his reads and not getting fooled by much. Well-developed muscle tone and worked hard to max out his body - added 50+ pounds of good weight since enrolling at Temple. Blossoming leadership skills with the inner competitive drive and appetite for football. Former walk-on and played the first four seasons at Temple without a football scholarship - awarded a scholarship the summer prior to his senior season. Tied the single-season school record with 22.5 tackles for loss in 2016.

WEAKNESSES: Tweener frame and lacks the size potential to stay at defensive end in the NFL. Lacks ideal arm length to efficiently engage, stack and shed in the trenches. Doesn't have the anchor or upper body power to control the point of attack, allowing blockers to engulf and move him from lanes. Doesn't consistent convert his speed to power as a rusher. Room to improve his finishing skills as a tackler, slipping off his target at times. Needs to transition to an off-ball linebacker position, lacking experience in that role. Wild footwork in reverse when asked to drop and cover backs or tight ends. Suspended from the Temple football program for three months (along with Dion Dawkins) following his connection with an off-campus fight (Jan. 2015) - put on probation after felony aggravated assault charges were later dropped.
